CN Rail says accident occurred on its main E-W line, now closed

Oct 21 (Reuters) - Saturday's derailment of tanker cars in
Alberta has halted traffic on Canadian National Railway's
main east-west Transcontinental line, CN official
Warren Chandler said on Monday.

"CN traffic is currently stopped on that line, as it is our
transcontinental main line, east to west," Chandler told a news
conference in Alberta.

The propane tanker cars caught fire after the crash and the
fire was still burning on Monday morning. The train had two crew
members, and neither they nor anybody else was injured in the
accident, Chandler said.
